Hmmmm not a directly involved, still reprehensible.

I like Patton because he had a killer instinict that was bred into most European generals. This is the part that gets most overlooked in American canon. Patton could stand toe to toe with the best generals in Europe where as men like Bradley and Eisenhower simply lacked that go for the throat instinict.

Really the divergence came when many of Americas top military men fought for the south and were killed.

Its no surpirse that Patton is cut from the same cloth as Washington and Lee.
